Hello,
Our customer evaluating timers SA555(Bipolar) and LMC555(CMOS).
The measured tH and tL values were not acceptable for them compared with fomula in the datasheet.
test condition
Ta:-25 to 75 degreeC
Vcc:5V +/-10%
RA : 10k, with 5% accuracy, 200ppm/degreeC
RB : 22k, same as above
C : 470pF, with 5% accuracy, 60ppm/degreeC
fomula
tH = 0.693 (RA +RB)C
tL = 0.693 (RB)C
measured value (value from fomula)
LMC555CMX
tH = 10.42us (11.6us)
tL = 7.17us (8.05us)
SA555DR
tH = 10.42us (13.4us)
tL = 7.17us (8.96us)
They think it has to be considered with not only fomula, some parameters(ex. Ron, tplh and tphl and so on) are also considered.
But it seems there is no more information in the datasheet.
Please give us any comment or advise.
Thanks and best regards,
Hiroshi
